Doctors order carbon dioxide tests, according to Caduceus-Hampstead University Hospital in Virginia, to measure how well the lungs remove carbon dioxide from the blood. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product of metabolism. When respiration increases, carbon dioxide levels drop. Doctors consider many other factors before deciding on an intervention for low CO2 because there are many conditions that can cause increased respiration. (Liquidlibrary/liquidlibrary/Getty Images)
The volume of inspired carbon dioxide is usually negligible, whereas reduced carbon dioxide production is an unusual, but possible, contributor to hypocapnia. Therefore, for practical purposes, a low partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide reflects the rate of elimination of carbon dioxide.
